Chapter 1094: Confronting The Terrifying Foes
"True, I can sense something familiar in them," the dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn replied, agreeing with her words.
In an instant, Seth was lifted from the ground as if held by an invisible force. He was dragged forward, arriving before them. Seth tried to open his mouth to speak but found he couldn't move his lips. Even his voice was sealed, preventing him from screaming.
"Such pure Vylkr energy! It's unlike anything I've ever seen," the dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn said.
He sensed the bracelet on their wrists, though it was vastly different from what the gods' chosen wore. Combined with the pure Vylkr energy they exuded and the fact they had been sent by their sovereign to investigate this territory-following the deaths of the previous Vylkr spawns killed by a god-he began to doubt their identity.
"Introduce yourselves," the dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn added.
Suddenly, the overwhelming pressure surrounding Orion and Zogar dissipated. They stood to their feet and looked upward. Orion's gaze fixed on Seth, suspended in the air before he nodded and stepped forward.
"It's an honour to be in your presence, emissaries of Lord Naka," Orion said, bowing toward the two Vylkr spawns.
"How do you know that name? If you don't want this to be your last breath, speak truthfully," the dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn demanded, his voice booming.
The slender dragon Vylkr spawn frowned deeply, scrutinizing the mortals before her more closely.
Orion nodded swiftly in response. From the report he had received from Aegis of the Arctic Deity during the previous Vylkr spawns' arrival, he knew they were unaware of the territory's history or the identities of its inhabitants.
So, Orion understood they hadn't been informed about their true identities and were primarily interested in the god who had killed the prior Vylkr spawns investigating the Vylkr artefact. His task now was to rectify that oversight and show the utmost respect to Naka, hoping this would ensure smoother future discussions.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If things went wrong, they would have no choice but to abandon everything and return to Paradise. Orion hoped that Ilse would rescue them on time.
"I am Orion, the Supreme Leader of the now destroyed Paradise; Naka once cared for my ancestors, and we, in return, worshipped his name for generations. But some time in the past, he vanished, leaving us to survive on our own. Because of him, we learned to harness Vylkr energy, so after learning about your identities, we decided to honour your presence as his return," Orion said.
"When the previous emissaries arrived during the first Vylkr artefact magical formation, we suspected another arrival after the second artefact emerged. So, we waited. Thankfully, you've come, confirming our assumption. Emissaries of Naka, we desire only peace and understanding. We would be grateful for any information about Lord Naka and his current location."
Zogar gritted his teeth in anger. If any of them were to die now, it would be a massive setback for Paradise. However, Goddess Ilse must be prepared to rescue them from their current plight. As the only one capable of speaking, Zogar knew he had to say something to delay their attempt to kill them.
Zogar felt his body rise from the ground, suspended high in the air by an overbearing invisible force. He groaned painfully at the sudden movement.
"Go ahead and speak; I don't have much time to waste," the dark brown feathered Phoenix Vylkr spawn replied. If he wanted to break through the Divine Technique protecting their minds, they would lose some of their memories, potentially rendering them incapable of remembering who they previously were. Whether the lost memory would be essential was a risk he wasn't willing to take.
Nonetheless, they hadn't planned to release them but to take them with them. Their words were merely to help them verify the validity of their statements before they began to break through their minds to ensure they hadn't missed any vital information. He was confident that they would get what they wanted, as no mortal would dare lie in the presence of a god, especially with their lives on the line.
Zogar gulped internally. "I can...," he began but was interrupted as the space above them tore
open.
Zogar sighed inwardly, realizing that Goddess Ilse had finally decided to rescue them. 'It's
about time,' Zogar thought.
Seth sighed in relief within his heart.
Orion was also incredibly relieved by Ilse's dramatic arrival.
The two Vylkr spawns turned to focus on the direction of the torn space in the sky.
Sensing a familiar signature, the slender dragon lips curved into a frown. "It appears they were clever enough not to follow the false trail we left behind but to follow our original trail," she remarked, her tone cold.
"Take them and flee. I'll hold them off and catch up with you later," the dark brown feathered pheonix replied, soaring towards the direction of the torn space.
"Are you sure? We are in no condition to engage in another battle," the slender dragon Vylkr
spawn replied, her frown deepening.
"We still aren't sure if a god is waiting in hiding to attack us. And although I doubt their strength will be sufficient, it's best not to take the risk," the dark brown-feathered phoenix Vylkr spawn's voice sounded behind as he arrived before the torn space.
